Gentle Giant

With their theatricality and multi-instrumental aptitude, these guys could have given prog a good name. Free Hand remains a fave. Saw 'em at Avery Fisher Hall ca. '76 with Frank Santora, who really was a giant. Miss you, buddy.

This was one of the comparatives given, and thus one of the required listening choices, of my pre-Underground Railroad days. I'm glad I liked Gentle Giant, because it has led me to so much other great music.
